ANNUAL WAGE REVIEW

In June 2023 the FWC’s expert panel approved a 5.75% increase to award rates of pay after taking into account the effects of inflation on low-paid workers and the current economic circumstances they face.

The increases came into effect in the first full pay period on or after 1 July 2023.

The Superannuation levy will rise by 0.5% to 11% at the same time.

ASIAL has prepared a new Rate Schedule that is available in the Member Resources area of the ASIAL website (please note, you must be logged in to access the Award Rates of Pay Schedule and Allowances).

Automated Facial Recognition draft guidance document

ASIAL has prepared a draft guidance document for the ethical use of Automated Facial Recognition (AFR) technologies. The draft seeks to ensure that the technology is not allowed to act autonomously without human oversight and not used in any way which causes harm to individuals.

Comment is sought from members and stakeholders on the draft principles by 30 September 2023.
